Take your dog to the veternarian.
You should take your dog to a veterinarian for an examination. "Pink eye" is the lay term for conjunctivitis - inflammation of the membranes over the sclera (white part of the eye). This can be caused by infection, trauma, foreign body, cancer or infestation, and treatment is based upon the underlying cause. If it is not treated by a veterinarian, you risk the dog going blind in that eye, as well as suffering a great deal of pain.
See your veterinarian.
Vigamox (moxifloxacin) is an antibiotic eye drop used for treating bacterial eye infections, but it is not typically used to treat styes. Styes are usually caused by a blocked oil gland in the eyelid and can often resolve on their own or with warm compresses. If a stye is persistent or causing significant discomfort, it's best to see an eye doctor for appropriate treatment.
Pink eye is a common problem in young children. It can easily spread and can be very uncomfortable if not treated properly and promptly. People who are infected need to stay out of school and work until the problem is treated. The most noticeable symptom would be discharge from the eye as well as redness in and around the eye. If one has pink eye, he should immediately go to the doctor to be prescribed antibiotics.
No, Vigamox (moxifloxacin) does not contain sulfa. It is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, specifically eye infections. If you have a sulfa allergy, Vigamox is generally considered safe to use, but it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional regarding any concerns about allergies and medications.
This would depend on the cause. If both the dog and human are allergic to a particular pollen or mold and were both exposed, they could both develop "pink eye" even though one did not give it to the other. If the dog has bacterial pink eye, it is possible for the bacteria to be transferred to a human and cause pink eye in that person as well. However, if the cause is viral, traumatic, foreign body or cancer, humans would not be at risk for zoonotic infection from the dog.
It can be. It is a symptom of an infection of the eye, and that infection should be treated. It is possible that an untreated infection can damage the eye. Pink eye is also very contagious, so if you do not treat it, you will probably give it to someone else.
